Abstract

The aim of this study is to show whether the role of women in the contemporary photography has evolved. We analyze the situation of women as objects (model) and subjects (photographer) starting from a study of the first women photographers. We examine the social conditions and the influence of the images transmitted by the media in the construction and projection of the image of women, analyzing the pioneering and most relevant photographers in contemporary history. Finally we evaluate the gender inequality in relation to the ability to control the projected image of women and their identity through their body in the field of feminist photography.
